Moving the Clouds That Block Our Light
Manage episode 494608676 series 2989384
Have you ever felt stuck in a strange emotional limbo? That's exactly where I found myself recently - packing boxes for my move from Florida back to Tennessee, excited for what's ahead, yet somehow disconnected from my usual joy. Through quiet reflection, I discovered a profound truth that Dr. Blake Livingood captures perfectly: "The sun is always shining. You just need to move the clouds."
This episode takes you on a deeply personal journey as I uncover the one thing I haven't fully surrendered despite all my other life changes - my relationship with food. Tracing back to childhood moments of sneaking bread, butter and sugar in the pantry as the youngest of six kids, I reveal how this earliest coping mechanism became my default response to stress and transitions. The emotional honesty in this revelation might just help you identify what's blocking your own light.
We explore the fascinating connection between fasting, cellular healing, and emotional freedom. Did you know that trauma becomes imprinted in our cells, especially before age seven? Through practices like intermittent fasting and autophagy (cellular cleanup), we can release these stored traumas. I share how my previously successful fasting practices fell away and how reclaiming them might be key to clearing old patterns.
This raw, real-time revelation shows how transitions often expose the very areas we need to heal. Whether you're facing a major life change or simply feeling disconnected from your purpose, this episode offers valuable insights on identifying and releasing what no longer serves you. What cloud is blocking your light, and what might happen when you finally move it aside? Join me in this transformative exploration of authentic living and discover what might be waiting on the other side of surrender.
